Republican Bob Turner—District 9 New York Special Congressional Election


I know! This is not on the Iowa Straw vote. It is coming! I received the following e-mail yesterday and it is time sensitive. So!

From: http://www.minutemanpac.com/

“POLL SHOCKER!!!
BORDER PATRIOT WITHIN SIX POINTS OF WINNING SPECIAL ELECTION!!!!

Fellow Patriot,

Would you believe a solid pro-border security conservative Republican is on the verge of winning a Special Election for Congress in NEW YORK CITY?

Incredible but true!

A Siena College poll released last week shows the pro-border security candidate is within just six points of a major upset in a special election for disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner’s House Seat—scheduled in just a few weeks–on September 13th.

Bob Turner is a conservative patriot who shocked observers from coast to coast last year by getting more than 40 percent of the vote against Weiner—even though state and national Republicans wrote his campaign off and did nothing for him.

IMAGINE WHAT THE LIBERAL MEDIA WOULD SAY IF A CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT IN BROOKLYN AND QUEENS ELECTED AN ANTI-AMNESTY CONGRESSMAN! AND IT CAN HAPPEN—SELECT HERE TO HELP!!

Many people are not aware that New York City is full of conservative Catholic and Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods ...

... and the Ninth Congressional District in Brooklyn and Queens is made up almost entirely of them.

Barack Obama is not popular here. Even in 2008, he barely won this district – losing neighborhoods from Borough Park to Marine Park to South Ozone Park by big margins. And he’s much less popular today.

That makes a unique opportunity to win this election for a solid, border-security patriot like Bob Turner – and that’s why I am writing you today!

CLICK HERE TO MAKE AN IMMEDIATE CONTRIBUTION TO MINUTEMAN PAC TO SUPPORT BOB TURNER AND DEFEAT PRO-AMNESTY LIBERAL DAVID WEPRIN.

Many people think this race is hopeless, but I don’t. They think Obama is just ‘too strong’ in New York to overcome. But I think that’s a lot of bunk.

Barack Obama’s going down in 2012. And the first step is going to be victory in the Ninth Congressional District in the Special Election on September 13th.

That’s why I’m writing you today for an immediate contribution to Minuteman PAC to fund radio and TV ads to expose the Amnesty-lobby and talk about Turner’s opposition to Amnesty for Illegals and fight against the Ground Zero Mosque.

While Bob Turner is a solid across-the-board conservative, his opponent is a left-wing liberal in the mold of disgraced Anthony Weiner.

David Weprin is a career political hack who, like Weiner, can be counted on to vote the pro-Obama left-wing line 100% of the time.

Weprin not only is an enthusiastic Amnesty supporter, but he has also endorsed the infamous Mosque at Ground Zero. MINUTEMAN PAC IS MAKING DAVID WEPRIN’S DEFEAT OUR NUMBER ONE POLITICAL PRIORITY!

There’s not a lot of time. Your help is needed today! Literally the moment your contribution is received and recorded, I’ll be able to start planning our media campaign. The election is September 13th with virtually nothing else on the ballot so turnout is going to be very low.

That’s why your help is so important—because the share of voters coming out is expected to be only a tiny fraction, our targeted get-out-the-vote efforts can and will make the difference.

Think about this—if even just half the people who voted against Barack Obama came out and supported Bob Turner—he’d win in a landslide. That’s how low turnout will be.

YOUR DOLLARS ARE MULTIPLIED IN A LOW TURNOUT RACE LIKE THIS ONE. SELECT HERE TO HELP MINUTEMAN PAC RUN RADIO AND TV ADS TO TURN OUT THE BASE AND SEND OBAMA A MESSAGE BY ELECTING BOB TURNER TO CONGRESS!

This race can be won and Minuteman PAC is ready to help win it. All that’s needed is your financial support. 60-second radio ads on top New York City talk stations are as little as $50 for Dennis Miller to Lou Dobbs at $250 and Rush Limbaugh at $700.
These are the voters we need to turn out to win—the real conservatives.

People like you and me ...

Will you help? SELECT HERE to make your maximum donation to Minuteman PAC.

Individuals may contribute as much as $5,000 this year. I hope you will consider a contribution of that amount or even $750, $500 or $250.

In the Obama era, America has learned again that politics is indeed war by different means. The stakes are high for our nation. This is one election where you and I can really make a difference. Please consider stepping up to the plate and give our sharp, creative and cutthroat media team an opportunity to slice and dice liberal David Weprin over his pro-Amnesty, pro-Tax, pro-Ground Zero Mosque policies.

We won’t let you down.

On to victory!

“Assemblyman Weprin’s relationship with elements of the district’s diverse Jewish community is also complicated by his vote in Albany in favor of the legalization of same-sex marriage, which is opposed by Orthodox Jewish leaders.

Dovid Z. Schwartz, an Orthodox Jewish activist from Kew Gardens, said of Mr. Weprin’s same-sex marriage vote, ‘To the mind of many people, the vote itself was the point of no return.’ And Mr. Schwartz also argued that because Mr. Weprin is a ‘career political insider’ and of the same party as Mr. Obama, he could not be a ‘fierce advocate’ pushing back against the president’s Middle East policy.

‘A vote against David Weprin would send a clear message to the administration that they cannot take the Jewish vote for granted,’ Mr. Schwartz said.”

“But the Weprin campaign argued that Mr. Obama would be more likely to listen to criticism of his Israel position from a fellow Democrat. ‘If voters want to send a message to the president, they won’t do it by sending another rank-and-file Tea Party extremist Republican to Congress,’ Mr. Weprin’s campaign manager, Jake Dilemani, said.”

I have, as far as I know, not received anything from Tea Party groups about this election. This is, as far as I know, my first contact about the election.

I went to Bob Turner’s web-site and could not find an issues page. I’m an issues voter. His stance on issues is important to me. So, why am I post this request for donations? Several reasons:

1) Turnout is extremely important in special elections. Money is needed to promote turnout.

2) Bob Turner is opposed to Amnesty. Thus, the support of the Minuteman Pac.

3) President Obama’s extremely negative policy against the State of Israel.

4) The Democratic candidate supports the building of a Muslim Mosque at Ground Zero. And he’s an orthodox Jew!

5) The Democratic candidate supported and voted for homosexual marriage which is immoral both from a Christian standpoint and a Jewish standpoint. Old Testament law prescribed death for homosexual behavior! Leviticus 20: 13 (NIV) “If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them MUST (My capitalization—my addition) be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.”

6) The manager of the Democratic candidate’s campaign called Bob Turner a “rank-and-file Tea Party extremist Republican ….” That’s good enough for me!

I’m supporting Bob Turner!!!
